I'm losing sleep Light a smoke so I can breathe It's too dark, it's too loud in the city If I had a god, I would say he was wrong Got these scars, but I think they're pretty So I say hey! Been high since yesterday You know it kills the pain It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey So tired of the same Never seems to change It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey I'm losing sleep Light a smoke so I can breathe It's too dark, it's too loud in the city If I had a god, I would say he was wrong Got these scars but I think they're pretty So I say hey! Been high since yesterday You know it kills the pain It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey So tired of the same Never seems to change It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey It's hard to find a love through every shade of grey
